For total beginner Arabic and Portuguese classes, an electronic copy of the textbook and audio materials are included in the cost of the class and will be e-mailed to you a few days before your start date.
For all other languages, textbooks are not included. However, we will e-mail you introductory materials and information about the textbook before your first class. We recommend waiting until after your class begins to purchase the textbook, if you choose to do so.
Textbooks are generally in the $10 - $50 range, depending upon the language. Most of the textbooks we use are available in both physical and electronic versions. If you have any questions about finding materials, e-mail us at groups@abclang.com and we'll be happy to help.
Monday - Thursday: 10:00am – 7:00pm Eastern
Friday: 10:00am – 5:00pm Eastern

Yes! After your first class you will receive an e-mail with the option of extending your enrollment to either 8 or 12 weeks. You will have until your second class to upgrade your enrollment. If you are past your second week, you are welcome to re-enroll for 4, 6, 8 or 12 weeks to continue with your classes.
Farsi, Hindi, Japanese and Polish have set enrollments in 8-week increments and do not have the extension option.
If you miss a class during a 12-week enrollment, you automatically get a 13th consecutive bonus class added to your enrollment!
If you are unable to attend the 13th consecutive class, you forfeit your make-up lesson.
Feedback helps us improve and we want to ensure that every one of our students has the best possible experience with ABC Languages.
We are happy to discuss whatever concerns you may have, so please contact us as soon as they arise so we can assist you asap. You may send an e-mail to groups@abclang.com or call 800-426-6008. Your feedback will remain confidential and anonymous.
There are rare unforeseen times when we will have to suspend a regularly scheduled class (teacher emergency, global classroom software outage, etc.) We will notify you as soon as possible about the class suspension, and the missed class will not count towards your enrollment.
Your enrollment is for consecutively scheduled classes, not necessarily weeks. For example, if you signed up for 6 weeks but one class was suspended due to a holiday and another because your teacher had an emergency, you 6-week enrollment will be covered in 8 weeks.
